NextCloud is like your own dropbox type of environment, I thought, kewl I can install it and then start to migrate over all of my dropbox and gdrive content.
Yeah well in my head that was the idea and it was grand, there was also naked ladies dancing around as well.
First iteration, I was running the older version of FreeNAS so the plugin was really old (v10), I read that if you upgrade it it breaks so its best just to start with a new version (at this time its v14).
Second iteration was running a script, and it did everything for you and I mean everything so I choose to run it but then I found I could not connect to it from my internal lan.
Third-Six iteration was going back and forth between the plugin and the script trying to figure out why each one took so much work. Each had some work I needed to perform. The plugin required I update and install SSL for nginx and I had a hard time figuring that out so I abandoned it.
Seventh iteration I decided to stick with and post on various forums and I got 0 answers to my questions. This is super frustrating. I must have a website site dedicated to me that says, if this guy asks a question act like you don’t know the answer when you really do because that will just cheese him off and we all find that funny. HA HA HA, jerk!
As it happens, NordVPN has a black Friday sale on there VPN services so I decided to use that. This resolves my issue but still rather expensive solution to run my own cloud setup, however if you break down the numbers its cheaper in the long run.
I did check the forum for the script install and the author is slowly pointing me in the direction I think I need to go.
